The 73 Best Gifts for Dad That He'll Actually Use (and Won't Abandon in the Garage)

• Return Policy: final sale

If Dad’s a die-hard football fan who cozies up on the couch every Sunday, he’ll love a fabulous custom team blanket to throw over his legs (or rather off them) when he jumps up to cheer for that touchdown. We love that it’s machine-washable (so don’t worry about those nacho cheese spills) and that you can customize it not only by team, but with your Dad’s name (or nickname) at the bottom.

Dad will quickly become a whiskey master, thanks to this kit which comes with five different samples of whiskey (aged 5 to 10 years), a graduated cylinder to perfectly measure them out and a copita to smell and taste test. Using the included guide, he’ll make his perfect blend and then send off his ratio to the brand, who will send a full bottle of his creation. He’ll love bragging about “his” whiskey during poker night—and he still gets to finish off the samples.

Dabee Kaye, Gallery Media Group's former VP of brand partnerships, says her husband lives in these pants. "They're super comfortable and they don't look sloppy so he can wear them out," she says. "He even has backups, just in case." These pants are made in four-way stretch fabric, and there's extra room in the seat area to make sure nothing binds when a guy sits down. And since Dad can get a pair in inseams that range from 28 to 37 inches, there's no hemming required, right off the rack.

• Return Policy: cancel before annual auto-renewal

A MasterClass subscription is the gift that keeps on giving. The online education platform will give your pops access to more than a hundred virtual classes and sessions led by industry professionals in various fields, from cooking to meditation from top people in their profession, like science with Neil deGrasse Tyson and how to ball properly with Stephen Curry. Basically, he can learn a new skill every day. With new classes being added every month, Dad will never get bored. Retired, who?

• Return Policy: 60 days for Nike members

Nike gear is seriously trending among Gen-Zers, so let Dad show off his trendiness with this casual running cap that he can wear when he’s picking up the kids or grandkids from school. Available in three sizes and four different colorways, it’s designed for the gym and trails, so if Dad is an active papa who loves to go for runs, hikes and the like, this lightweight hat is just what the doctor ordered. The Dri-FIT technology will keep him cool and comfortable by wicking away sweat, and reviewers report that it fits true to size.

• Return Policy: case-by-case basis

He’s not one to accumulate stuff, which means he refuses to carry around a big, bulky wallet. Convince Dad to toss the rubber band that’s holding his cash together and replace it with this sleek alternative. The slim metal card case can hold up to 12 cards and has an external elastic strap to hold cash or his keys. Get a matching one for yourself and you’ve got a true father-son gift.

• Return Policy: 90-day money-back guarantee

This machine brings a whole new meaning to the idea of coming over for a drink. Dad can add his own spirits and water, insert a Bartesian capsule of the desired drink mix along with bitters, extracts and juice concentrates, and then let the machine do all the hard work. Pour, serve, and cheers! Reviewers love that it saves them money on buying multiple mixers, but do note that the results aren’t quite as high-end as something mixed by an actual human.

• Return Policy: 30 day returns

Whether he’s listening in his office, on the back deck, by the pool or heading off to a camping or fishing trip, this portable Bluetooth speaker is rugged and waterproof so it can go with him anywhere. With signature JBL sound (think clear vocals and big bass), it even has a built-in power bank so Dad can use it to recharge his phone in a pinch. We love that it lasts up to 20 hours before it needs charging, and PureWow’s Editor in Chief Jillian Quint swears by hers for stream-anywhere podcasting. “Mine is a mainstay of my kitchen so I can listen to radio or pods while I cook.”

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

If Dad has a beard, he’ll appreciate this 13-piece grooming kit that includes all the attachments for tackling his scruffy five o’clock shadow as well as his face, nose, ear hair and head hair. Alongside a stubble guard, cleaning brush and travel storage bag (for bringing it on his next business trip), this puppy features steel blades that sharpen as they work and a rechargeable battery that lasts for up to an hour per charge. Reviewers love the ease of use and closeness of the shave, but complain that this product may only last for a couple years before dying.

• Return Policy: 14-15 days returns (up to 60 days for Best Buy TotalTech members)

Built with the brand’s largest display (1.5 inches in diameter), this watch is so easy-to-read, Dad definitely won’t be complaining that he can’t see the screen, especially if he gets to customize the face himself. It’s great for the fitness buff too (or the guy trying to be more active), providing advanced fitness tracking, heart rate monitoring, sleep tracking and more. Plus, he’ll never miss a call or text from you when he can see it on his wrist.

• Return Policy: no refunds, cancel before it auto renews

Know a dad who loves to unwind after a long day by playing…Call of Duty?

He’ll also get perks, like in-game add-ons and consumables, and exclusive member discounts, making him the envy of his gaming buds.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

There’s nothing quite like board game night with the fam-jam, whether it’s a weekly Friday night tradition or a rainy Sunday activity. Catan is one of those games every dad will love, since it’s focused on trading, building, and settling. Dad can show off his strategic prowess as he aims to be a cunning developer of resources like grain, wool or lumber. Or he can channel his inner John Dutton III from Yellowstone or Logan Roy from Succession and show the kids who’s really boss. Note that there are a lot of rules to this game, so it’s best to play for the first time with somebody who has done it before.

• Return Policy: 90-day returns

This workhorse workbench is ideal for storing and organizing all of Dad’s one million tools, screws and other bits and bobs. The flat wood top is a great surface for any project, and the nine drawers are all lockable, so young kids can’t get inside and and get into any trouble. It’s also sturdy enough to handle heavy weight and we love that it’s on castors for easily wheeling it around. Sure, it’s easy to assemble, but let’s face it, Dad doesn’t need the instructions anyway.

• Return Policy: High-Five Guarantee

Before he’s even done unwrapping, he’ll be halfway to the local butcher shop to grab some sirloin steaks and a full rack of ribs to make the most out of this “manly man’s” gift box for barbecue aficionados. Along with three sauces, ranging from sweet to heat, it comes with tons of useful tools, including meat claws, smoke cans and a mini cast iron sauce pot. Everything comes in a super-cool wooden crate that Dad will love prying open, maybe or maybe not with a crowbar.

• Return Policy: no time limit on returns

Back in his day, Dad would take apart his electronic toys, figure out how they worked, and put them back together again. Turns out, he can still do that. Get him this kit for making a working speaker. He can follow the instructions (or not) to get it in full working order, and once it’s ready, there’s an FM tuner, USB and aux cable ports, and Bluetooth technology for connecting to his phone or other mobile device.

• Return Policy: no time limit on returns

Who doesn’t love to feel like a kid again? Dad can combine his love of modern technology with his desire for a bit of nostalgia with this paper airplane that can be controlled by a smartphone. Build the plane just like his grandpa taught him. But this time, connect a tiny Bluetooth device to it. Now, download the app and enjoy the 1980s-inspired “drone” with 21st-century wireless control.

• Return Policy: no limit for returns

Maybe Dad loves bird watching, or maybe you think he would love to pick up the hobby. It’s a nice reason to get out of the house after retirement. With this set, which includes three callers made of metal and beech wood, he can call everything from robins to Mallard ducks and Chickadees. If you’re joining him, don’t forget to bring your camera or phone along to snap a pic once one (or a flock) of birds answers the call.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

Sure, it looks high-tech, but PureWow Commerce Director Nicole Briese has found that once this baby is set up, every dad will be able to use it for random musings ("Alexa, what's the current GDP?"), playing yacht rock on command or even looking up hands-free measurement conversions when they're cooking. This smart speaker has a clock, too, so he'll always be on time. Best of all, you can get this delivered to him by tomorrow, thanks to Amazon Prime.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

It’s time to Zhuzh up Dad’s look just a little, and he knows you’re the one to trust when it comes to fashion. He’ll appreciate this classic cable knit sweater from Ralph Lauren that’s uber soft and warm (and doesn’t cost you an arm and a leg) thanks to the cashmere-wool blend. It comes in nine gorgeous colors, and reviewers say it really holds its shape with time—so long as he remembers not to throw it in the dryer. You can assist him with a few styling recs, like a nice button-down and some loafers.

• Return Policy: no returns

He's a man who appreciates a good cup of joe, so help him discover the wide world of small-batch artisanal roasters with this gift from Bean Box. Here’s how it works: He answers a few questions about his taste preferences, then will receive one to two bags of coffee (ground or un-ground) every week, two weeks or month—depending on how much he drinks or if he lets anyone else enjoy his liquid gold. That way, he’ll be able to experience the freshest beans from different small-batch purveyors, ones he might not have stumbled upon on his own.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

Senior Food Editor Katherine Gillen's dad gave her a Thermapen as a gift, which shows his level of respect for this device. "I've never tried a better meat thermometer," she says. "It's so fast to get a reading and I like that it's no frills and easy to clean." It’s popular amongst celebrity chefs because it can provide a reading in just one second with a temperature range of -58.0 to 572.0°F, meaning he doesn’t need to open the oven or grill for too long, After opening this handy gift, your dad will never have to play the “is this meat fully cooked?” game again. It can also be used in baking or candy making, so he can expand his kitchen repertoire with confidence.

• Return Policy: 60-day money back

If your dad is of the age where he is literally watching grass grow, he might appreciate some tools that will seriously amp up his curb appeal. Have him submit a few questions about the lawn’s current state, and he’ll get a custom plan based on science and the home climate that’s delivered every eight weeks with new materials like pet spot repair, drought recovery and tick control. As one happy customer states, “I just put on my first application and it went on as advertised and the follow-up has been so good.” So long as he follows the plan to a T, the grass will definitely be greener and get the whole neighborhood talking.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

“We got my dad one of these because he’s notorious for packing coolers for car trips—even if they’re only an hour long,” explains food editor Katherine Gillen. It’s just big enough to hold some drinks and a few sandwiches without being a pain to lug around. Gillen reports it’s amazing for everything from camping trips to keeping beer chilled during tailgates (it holds 33 cans of beer or 26 lbs of ice, and is wine bottle compatible, in case you were wondering) The insulation keeps food hot, too, so go ahead and give this to the dad as a high-tech lunchbox, and we love that it’s narrow enough to fit behind the driver’s seat in his car.

• Return Policy: 15-day returns

We love our dads, but whenever they don their old wired headphones, we have to laugh, which is why this gift is perfect. Editor Steph Meraz says these are a big hit with her pops: "He loves to whip them out when we go on a walk around the neighborhood without me noticing, so when I try to talk to him, it takes me a few minutes to realize that he isn’t responding for a reason. The man wants his alone time…I can’t blame him. It’s a win-win for us both...Just kidding, dad!" Your dad will love how much better his music sounds when he puts these on, and he'll be even more amazed at the noise-canceling feature he can turn on while he's at the gym or walking the dog.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

TheDadLab YouTube channel became such a hit, creator Sergei Urban put some of his most popular experiments into an easy-to-follow guidebook. PureWow’s VP of Content Candace Davison says it's a winner. "This guidebook is perfect for rainy days and chilly winter afternoons when you're cooped up inside. It's loaded with unexpected ideas, often using things you have around your house," she says. "My daughter and husband like to pick a page at random and tackle it for that day's project...and I appreciate the break!" The step-by-step instructions will guide readers through everything from how to produce electricity to how to defy gravity with a ping pong ball, a mesmerizing feat for the kids (or grandkids).

Cable might be a thing of the past, but Dad still wants to watch the big game. With a Fubo TV subscription, he’ll be able to stream all the big games from an app on his TV or on the go on his computer. He’ll never miss a touchdown, and there are three different plans, with the Ultimate option offering Redzone from the NFL Network and Showtime. With the ability to stream on 10 screens at once, he can track all the games. Plus, maybe he’ll lend you the password so you can stay up to date on the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce situation.

• Return Policy: no returns

This is a gift he’ll want to open up well before Christmas. Thanks to 24 different 1.7-ounce top-shelf Whiskey samples, he’ll be counting down the days in the best way…and out of an exclusive Glencairn glass that comes with it. Dad can use the tasting journal to write down his thoughts on each (that you can peek at later for next year’s gift) and learn a little bit more about each whiskey’s origin and flavor profile. It comes with a 1-year Flaviar Base Membership that will allow him to order his new favorite and try different spirits, and reviewers report that it’s simply so fun to try a different one each night, with one saying, “packaging is high-quality, user-experience is entertaining, samples are wonderfully delivered, and no shortage of variety.”

• Return Policy: 60-day returns

This modern pizza oven has everyone talking…and salivating. It operates using wood, charcoal or gas, so he can really hone his backyard baking skills. Food editor Katherine Gillen says, "we got my dad the Ooni pizza oven a few years ago and now whenever I visit, he insists on a pizza night. He gets very into the process. I think he uses it once a week, and the pizza is very good." Reaching 950°F in 15 minutes, and delivering stone-baked pizza in 60 seconds, it brings a whole new meaning to the idea of fast food…at home.g0y8h

If he’s still using the same Dell laptop you bought him in 2010, it’s time for an upgrade. And according to one PureWow editor, the Samsung Galaxy Chromebook 2 is even better than a Macbook Air—and it’s way cheaper. He’ll love that it doubles as a touchscreen tablet when he flips the keyboard away and that the 13.3-inch QLED screen produces jawdropping quality for videos and gaming. A work presentation has never looked so good! Aside from that, he’ll appreciate that 13-hour battery life and that it’s only .5-inches thick and less than 3 pounds for easy transport to and from the office.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

PureWow Editor Dana Dickey uses this handheld meditation trainer to hone her breathing and relaxation. "I'd give this to a dad who's looking to increase his focus, since there's a morning regimen that really increases brain oxygen, as well as for someone who could use some deep breathing sessions to chill out before sleep." The accompanying app has scores of meditations, starting with those as short as a few minutes, and it keeps track of session times and biofeedback. Just note that some reviewers find holding the device distracting (which you have to do to reap the vibration benefits).

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

If Dad loves to cook, he probably already has a nice cookware set. But one item he might not yet have in his arsenal is a solid wok. Made of hammered carbon steel, this one is the rugged dad’s wok of choice. It has a wooden steel helper hand and a spacious 14-inch round bottom for his famous stir fry. (There’s a smaller 12-inch version as well). It’s even compatible with gas stoves, but note that it can’t go in the dishwasher and some users maintain it’s hard to keep looking brand new.

• Return Policy: 3-day returns on upholstered furniture

There’s nothing like putting your feet up after a long day, and dad can do just that with this leather recliner that has a manual push back recline function and position lock. It’s super plush and has a supportive back, so he can finally relax after all those years of hard work. You can choose from linen or suede fabrics and cleaning it requires regular vacuuming or using a stiff bristle brush to remove grime. Reviewers claim that “it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me” and Dad will likely say the same as you catch him napping there during the next family function.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

Help Dad melt away those back pains with a neck and back massager he can wrap around him like a comforting blanket, then sit back and relax. Made of faux leather, it comes with eight deep Shiatsu kneading massage nodes and three-speed intensities. The soothing heat will help further improve blood circulation, according to the brand. Dad will be texting you from home, thanking you for months after unboxing this.

• Return Policy: 90-day returns

Forget an egg-shaped smoker that has to be constantly fed with more and more charcoal to keep the temperature perfectly regulated. This baby is totally automated, and even has an app! Fill the hopper with lump charcoal or charcoal briquettes, turn up the heat, then Dad can sit back and relax with a beer. He still needs to check on it every now and then to sauce it, turn and add his personal touch, but for the most part, this is so much easier. Crank it as high as 700°F and don’t be surprised if Dad starts with simple brisket and soon graduates to smoked cheese and homemade pizza pies.

• Return Policy: 30-days return

Dad probably shoves everything he needs in a little carry-on, swearing that checked luggage is for suckers. At least you can help him organize that tiny suitcase by keeping his unmentionables apart from his crisp white button-up shirts. Available in different colors, each has a top mesh panel that will ensure his smelly socks get ample air so he doesn’t keel over when he unpacks back home. Each piece then closes with a double zipper, making it super simple to pack and unpack.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

Traditional massage guns can’t be used on knee joints, but Dad can get some sweet relief for knee pain with this device which provides relaxing heat and steady vibrative pulses that feel like a mini massage and help lower inflammation. The latest version of this device heats up a bit faster, has a wider temperature range, a longer battery life and fits small and large limbs a bit better. Warning: the whole fam might ask to try this out as Dad starts complaining less and less about his knees.

• Return Policy: 100-day trial

He'll never forget his earbuds, power cord or extra cable again now that he's got a dedicated nylon case with compartments for all his electronics essentials. Laptop chargers and larger accouterments fit in the lower mesh zippered section, and sturdily sewn elastic loops on the case's top fit smaller cords and accessories. Using this little 6.3- by 4.7-inch case, he'll always be able to find a cord to charge up his phone when he's got a quick layover.

• Return Policy: no time limit

PureWow Editor Candace Davison loves using this easily inflatable paddleboard: "The Weekender is relatively easy to stand on and can support up to 275 pounds. I will say that on choppy waters, it’s definitely more of a core workout." She also appreciates that it fits into a backpack to get it from the car to the waves. Your dad will, too, whether he's an experienced user or just wants to try a new water sport. Made of ArmorStrength PVC, it can withstand everything from tubular waves to jagged rocks, but deflates and folds down small enough to easily fit in the back of the trunk.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

Sophisticated dads who prefer cozying up with a cuppa tea while reading Hemmingway rather than loading up on coffee, will appreciate this luxurious set of 20 tea bags. Inspired by architect Frank Lloyd Wright, it features fun, delightful flavors like Ceylon Gold, Citrus Earl Grey, Oolong Creme, Honey Hojicha and Spiced Herbal Mate. Each bag stands upright in the cup and Dad can pull the cute little leaf (a nod to a deep connection to nature!) to remove the bag. Each purchase also goes to the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation, which provides educational programs and scholarships and helps with the preservation of Taliesin and Taliesin West.

• What We Don’t Like: doesn’t come with a sub
• Return Policy: 30-day returns

Inside this compact soundbar are two full-range drivers angled to deliver wide, spatial sound and there's a center tweeter specifically focused on clarifying speech. (So everyone will be able to hear better without turning the volume extra loud.) Use it for TV or pair your mobile device using Bluetooth to hear a podcast, music playlist or other audio from your phone or tablet. It’s perfect for Dad’s den, games room or “man cave.” Users report that it’s great for upgrading the built-in speakers on a TV, but it’s unrealistic to expect movie-theater-like acoustics.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

These matching tools—spatula, tongs, silicone basting brush and so much more—are going to get admiring comments from the other dads as they all gather around the grill to discuss whether the burgers are, in fact, ready to eat. The set comes with 20 tools in all, packed in a convenient case so he can whip this out when it’s burger time. He doesn’t need to tell anyone, however, about the included digital temperature fork that will secretly tell him when the meat is done.

• Return Policy: 30-day returns

All dads love their Yeti tumbler. It’s just a fact! But there are a few reasons why it’s beloved for sipping coffee and roadies out of. The double-wall vacuum insulation keeps drinks icy cold or hot for hours on end. It’s also super durable, dishwasher safe and the patented MagSlide lid is easy to sip from. Says one PureWow husband we spoke to: “I use mine every day for long drives, hot workouts and even coffee on the go. There is nothing better for keeping my beverages at the temperature I want them.” Bottom line: It will be his perfect companion while heading on fishing trips, hikes or to cheer on his kid’s soccer game.

• Return Policy: 14-15 days, (up to 60 days for Best Buy TotalTech members)

The short explanation? It instantly turns any TV into a smart one. (Though he’ll want to upgrade the speakers for more of an immersive experience.)

• Return Policy: 45-day returns

This hoodie takes the the O.G. classic design to another level, featuring a breathable mesh lining with six stretchable internal pockets to store everything that he, or his baby, might need…and it was chosen by TODAY Show as one of the number-one gifts for dads. Just note that the buyers say the hoodie runs small, so if you’re choosing between two sizes, get the bigger one.

• Return Policy: unworn, unwashed, undamaged

Four-way stretch in a pull-up trouser sounds like sweatpants, but the tailored lines of these babies make them look way more acceptable for public appearances. They fit more like relaxed, straight leg pants and reviewers say they’re comfortable enough for a flight. Designed for easy movement, they’re perfect for the dad who always wants to look his best and sometimes trades comfort for style to do so. Here, he can have the best of both worlds.

PureWow's Director of Audience Development Mary D’Alessio gave her dad one of these cutting boards engraved with his mom’s recipe for chicken paprikash—in her handwriting.

He’ll have his drink literally at arm’s length and you won’t have to worry about pesky drink rings and begging him to use a coaster, already!

Pair it with a few games (we recommend Harry Potter Legacy and the classic Mario Party Superstars), and he’ll be permanently obsessed. The two controllers are removable for multiplayer games if he wants to let the kids get in on the fun (though you may want to spring for extra controllers that are easier to hold and allow for more players). Play handheld or plug it into a TV for a big screen experience.

When he’s turning the big 6-0, a great gift is needed—and there’s nothing classier than something monogrammed that he would never get on his own. This stunning weekender bag with a matching toiletry pouch will come in handy as he takes more trips with the time he has on his hands now. Made from canvas with a wax coating that actually looks better the more worn and scratched it is, this puppy comes in khaki or slate. The adjustable shoulder strap means he can pick his length and the sturdy material means it can withstand being tossed in the back of a trunk 28 times in a row.

• Return Policy: 30-day refund case by case

Caramel, cheese and classic butter—Dad likes them all! If popcorn is his snack of choice for movies and beyond, he’ll appreciate a giant tub of Garretts famous popcorn that has a mix of all three. The popcorn itself is preservative and GMO-free, but the novelty tin will keep it fresh for months (if it lasts that long). We love that you can pick your own tin design and add a personalized note. Warning: he may be asking for a refill ASAP.

Is Dad always going on about how he hasn’t had a good night’s sleep since the ‘90s? If so, he could do with some help. This handy device delivers comforting white noise both at home and on the go (yes, it comes with a travel case). There are two speed options, and he can adjust the tone to his liking. It’s a good option for relief of tinnitus if he suffers from that, too. One reviewer claims it helps with their sleep disorder, “My neurologist uses Dohm for his sleep studies, and that’s how I found out about Dohm, because he had me use it for my narcolepsy diagnosis. I’ve used it every night for two years. It’s great.”

If he tracks his steps, chances are high that he actually cares about sneaker quality, too. So why not upgrade his current kicks by gifting him this soft, breathable and lightweight pair?
